Description

We have a flow committed to a NiFi Registry that includes a Kafka consumer, and ideally the processor configuration would include some dynamic consumer properties where the values would differ depending on which environment the flow is deployed to. Unfortunately, dynamic properties in the Kafka processors do not currently support EL, which would allow us to use environment variables to pass in those environment-specific values. So I'm proposing EL support be added to the dynamic properties of all Kafka processors.

I am planning on tackling this ticket myself, unless someone thinks this is a bad idea for some reason.
